I fully realize that recommending an Ann Coulter article about the withdraw of Miers is kind of like putting out a person on fire by pissing on them.

I'm not sure what you're going to get from her but it certainly isn't insight. I think I was wrong about Miers. She wasn't an attempt to fuck the system. She was a way of diverting attention. See Monica Lewinsky.

Now, rather than go on about how this is a good thing while stating that I half expect the next nomination to be just as laughable...

I expect the next nomination to be quite serious. Hopefully the radicals will be unhappy.

Tom and I were discussing this briefly last night at NIN. I agree that this was calculated. I believe that no one actually seriously thought Miers had a chance, and that she played sacrificial lamb for the sake of distracting the media away from the Delay and Plame situations.

The next candidate will be very serious indeed, but will have the same distracting effect as the real battles ensue.
